CHINA REVIEW
China's New Deal

"America, Italy. Germany, France and Soviet Russia have their New Deals in one form or another. We Chinese likewise have our New Deal but we are being given more-we are being given a new life, "No matter what others may say in favour or criticism of their new deals. I make bold to say that not a single one is being given" such a new deal as the Chinese people are being given by General Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Executive Yuan ta post equivalent to Prime Minister in Great Britain) and Generalissimo of the National Forces of China," said Mr. Walter H. Chen in the course of a talk on

"General Chiang's New Deal, or New Life, aims at rebuilding, re- juvenating and reforming Chins from its very foundation," Mr. Chen went on, "and his movement has surged through our country with a wave of enthusiasm such as has never before been witnessed, and furthermore, it already counts its followers in millions.

Mr. Chen explained that instead of resorting to force and com- pulsion to carry out his programme, General Chiang was endeavour- ing to win to the banner of the New Life Movement, the farmer, the merchant, and the man in the street, as well as the student, by Arst setting an example himself and by persuading his subordinates to set examples to the people just os did the officials of bygone days.
Numerically the greatest group on this globe, the Chinese peo- ple are unsurpassed for their ability to relate themselves to the natural wealth that exists under their feet, writes a correspondent in the "Malaya Tribune." Theirs is the finest human converter mechanism. The Chinese farmer has taken all the bludgeonings of nature and come out on top with a profit. On a minimum area of arable land he can so apply himself to its cultivation and live un the yield as no other race on earth has been able to do.
